Ultimate Thread for GULC EA!!

I think it was beaver who made the point that it's odd that, as a result of this "technical error," only some of us were given access. The even stranger thing is that those people seem to be auto-admits according to their stats. If someone in top 15% from a Tier 4 steps forward and says they had access, "glitch" will be more believable. Otherwise, this glitch just happened to give access to highly competitive (most competitive?) applicants.

I can't remember if anyone in last year's 20 something page thread mentioned being given access before the switch to Decision. Then again, this year is so unlike years past in everything we've seen.

I'm hoping it was just an error. At least two people from my school got in last year via EA, one just outside top 10% and one inside 5%, which is where I sit, at a school 50-60. I couldn't get in today.

Can someone who had access and remembers what they saw give us a little information about what kinds of things were on the site? Someone said there was nothing for transfer students (this weighs in favor of error, at least), but what kinds of things DID it say?

It would be nice, given that the glitch was brought to their attention, if they sent all EA applicants (or posted a general announcement on the transfer site) a message alerting us to the error and reassuring us that everything is running smoothly.

Does anyone remember a similar incident about 2 or 3 years ago at Harvard (orHarvard Business School) where students who prematurely accessed the admitted studentswebsite using their SSN were expelled? In that case, the students were tryingto ascertain whether they had been accepted prior to a formal decision beingmailed to them. I recall that Harvard expelled or rejected everyone thatprematurely accessed the admitted students website. I think it had something todo with unethical conduct?

[P.S. To the competitive students on this forum who are desperately trying toget into GULC: you might want to anonymously remind GULC about how Harvardhandled this and suggest GULC react similarly.]

Disclaimer: I didn't apply to GULC, and I don't plan to apply there.I did apply to UChi EA because it's really a better law school overall.

lol, I'm not sure if I can think of a more absurd, childish suggestion than "You (prospective students) should tell GULC to reject everyone who was curious enough to check whether they could log on to the admitted students webpage once rumors started up on a few message boards!" I understand that you're being sarcastic (or at least I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt,) but come on.

I'm not saying that Harvard didn't do something that ridiculous, by the way. It honestly doesn't surprise me that much. That, however, doesn't change how absurd an action it is to take. Clearly, we all did a lot of harm being able to see the admitted students page, and it smacked of unethical behavior.
